Jabberwocky Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Aparrantly not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_j0m1N0JKY Seriously though, I thought that Russia was past all this homophobic crap, and the Thug who did the slapping was a Neo Nazi-Odd when you come to think that Adolf wanted to wipe the Slavic people off the racial map. What do you think...? That was one HELL of an eloquant post wasnt it? My vocabulary is through the floor too. I need nicotine, a lovely lovely cig...muttermuttermuttermumblemutter.

I saw it on the news last night and I was shocked. He didn't do anything to deserve it and neither did the other bloke who got slapped and then arrested for doing nothing really. Russia needs to wake up a bit still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan_Vesta Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The far right has a massive following in Russia, there was a big thing about african students getting beaten a while ago. Don't belt Richard Fairbrass because he's gay because in all fairness there are more salient and logical reasons to give him a slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I think folks need to wake up and smell the roses - the UK, North America and the EU are incredibly tolerant compared to the rest of the world on all manner of behaviours, which is why I get so peeved about the way folks who benefit from these freedoms spend all their time bad mouthing us....anyway.... This sort of behaviour has always been rife in Russia - even during the Soviet era homosexuality would get you a long sentence in the Gulags. Racism, homophobia, anti-semitism - all common. Black British students who've gone there have also had a rough time, I believe, and even between teh different parts of Russia there are problems. Interestigly enough, Putin IS a liberal compared to many of his colleagues - basically Russia has always been a country that seems to require strong leadership because of it's internal intolerances. The Tsar was often called the 'Father of the People' - for this very reason. The reason why people still mourn the death of Stalin and the ultimate demise of the Soviet system was that the strong state was actually what the vast majority of people wanted and benefited from.

Swan_Vesta Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 like wearing an illegal vest? For sharing 50% of the responsibility for one of the most irritating, asinine pieces of music ever created. If there was a smilie which could convey feelings of nausea combined with bleeding ears then I'd use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
